Birthday Bash in a Box

 

The 5th & 6th graders of WNL are starting a new mission project for kids in our community.  They would like to make Birthday boxes for families who can't afford to give their children the kind of party other kids have.   
 

We hope to include in a box:

 

Cake mix

Frosting

Cupcake cups

Candles

Themed plates

Cups

Napkins

Table cloth

Plastic utensils

Cake decorations

Simple games

Goodie bags

Small toys and candy to go in goodie bags

 

If you have leftovers from your party or want to buy new please bring them to the church and place them in the birthday box around the corner from the parking lot door.

 

Kids love themed parties:  Batman, Princess, Cars, Barbie...  but, anything is welcome.  
 

Thank you for your help, our kids will have fun making the boxes and knowing their helping to make a child's birthday a special one.


Cookies Needed

 

The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive on February 9, at the American Legion.  The church has been contacted to supply 15 dozen cookies for it.
